Abstract

This essay presents a comparative analysis of the aeronautical occurrences registered in Brazil and in the United States from 2012 to 2021. The study was carried out through several segmentations of the occurrences and the aircrafts involved. Statistical data from the websites of Brazil’s Center for Investigation and Prevention of Aeronautical Accidents and the US National Transportation Safety Board was used for the comparative analysis. The evolution of the number of aircraft registered in each country was evaluated, and although the number of aircraft in the United States is much higher than in Brazil, the US occurrence rate is lower. Also, the occurrences in the United States have greater damage and a higher fatality rate than in Brazil. Therefore, it is suggested that a more detailed study is needed about the factors that lead to greater severity in the US occurrences than in Brazil.
